THE LITTLE CRADLE.
Bend over a little* e radio When a little* one’s sleeping there If you want to forget the trouble. If you want to forego the care. Bend over a little cradle, And you won’t care how much str Beats at the* door of dreaming And roars at the gates of life.
Bend over a little cradle, And a starry world it will be. Full of the fists, so chubby. And the dimple's of c hin and knee ; Of laughter and light and sunshine. And prayer and purpose and gleam As vou step to the daily struggle* Like a shadow climbing a dream. Bend over a little cradle, And the dust of the* dav will flv ; The grind and burden and battle* Like a horrid vision, will .die And there, you will find ilu* Sunshintt And there,.as you bond above. You will learn what it is to hallow All Life with a lasting Love.
